Tea with the Queen at Buckingham is now done. The experience was indeed a gracious one.
Interestingly, both lunch at Lambeth and tea at Buckingham, although delightful "treats" and lots of fun, were both informal extensions of Lambeth Conference discussions. The most significant piece of which was the continuing engagement with different cultures, their differing values and the way we use language - even when it is apparently all English. Working through some of that will be crucial to making headway in our conversations about Biblical understanding and theological reflection.
Buckingham though had a lovely amount of relaxation and wandering on the lawn time in what is a very large and lovely Garden.
God's blessings on her Majesty.

Bishop Greg, great to see you at Buckingham Palace yesterday..... I am CEO of Church Army UK and loved your blog!
It's good to hear a sane, theologically thoughtful, western Canadian voice telling the Lambeth story. And to hear you've found a decent pub and local brew. But don't I recall an equally splendid one NW of the Cathedral near St. Gregory's church? Our prayers are with you, Vicki, +Victoria, +Jane and our own +Steven.
